Support for Authors

Biosicentifica

- Yes

Stanford Authors receive a 50% discount on Open
Access APCs for these three journals from Bioscientifica. This does
not include any other fees, such as for supplementary data or for
color illustrations in the print version of the journal. Click on
the journal title below to see the explanation of charges.

During the submission process, you will be required to state
whether you wish to publish your article as Open Access, and if so,
confirm whether Stanford subscribes to the journal. You must tick
‘yes’ to this question. Once the manuscript is submitted, the
publisher will manually check and confirm with you directly. They
will then send you a discount code on acceptance, which you can use
during the payment stage.

(Discount only applies to articles published as OA in the
above 3 titles and not in the Bioscientifica's journals published
entirely as OA).

How Do I Find the Impact Information for Journals?

Stanford currently subscribes to both the Science Edition and
the Social Sciences Edition.

The Thomson/ISI documentation states that the Journal Citation
Reports are generally available in the summer following the end of
the year.

The analysis is based on each journal's publication date. It
can take several months after the end of the year to receive and
index all issues dated for that year. So, for example, in late
April 2012, the latest results are for 2010.

Assess the Impact of Your Published Research

Tables of citation information for an individual or
institution can be generated and exported quickly, listing data
such as:

total number of citations

average citations per item and year

citation half-life

number of papers

Graphical summaries that display paper publication and
citation trends can also be produced. The Analyze Tool provides
easy access to all citing items, along with the ability to remove
self-citations and further examine the information. There is also a
breakdown of the citation history for each record which can be
exported for further analysis.
